Veganism

An ethical lifestyle in which one abstains from eating, wearing and otherwise using the bodies and byproducts of nonhuman animals. Since most nonhuman animal oppression results from human demand for ‘meat,’ eggs and dairy, and for clothing like leather and wool, becoming vegan is one way to begin personally disengaging from industries of oppression, abuse and slaughter. From a Christian perspective, becoming vegan is also one way to reflect the God’s ultimate purpose for creation as outlined in Genesis 1:29–30.
